So I would suggest that perhaps you need to tighten your embouchure and tighten your abdominals and blow the air more forcefully into the trumpet.................
BTW, are you using a different make and model of trumpet mouthpiece than you use for cornet?
Although most people try to use a mouthpiece that has the same diameter and rim to make switching back and forth easier, most people also use a shallower mouthpiece on trumpet.
So if you use a semi-deep Bach 7B for cornet, you might try a semi-shallow Bach 7D for trumpet.

I like the analogy ... very humorous but helpful. After work yesterday tried your tips and it did make a big difference.
As far as mouthpiece on the cornet I use a
Schilke 14a4a and a Benge 7C. On the trumpet from my college days the only MPC that survived was my 14a4a. I really like my 7C more when playing my cornet. What would you suggest to use ?
Thanks for all your help so far I love this message board better than my car club.
